How to use the graphic script editor

The graphic editor can be accessed by selecting the panel Graphic Editor from the Experiment panel. The right side of the panel shows the current state of the tree-shaped script. It allows you to navigate through the different nodes by opening or closing them. The left side of the panel contains the buttons for editing the script.
